Thanks, that's exactly what I needed!
I first tried EXPAND_PATH, but that one just confirms the bug:
idl> print, expand_path('../../../idl')
../idl

After noticing that bug a month or so ago, I just split it into consecutive
cd ../ statements, like
for i = 0, x ; x you set or calculate depending how many levels you have
gone deep
cd, '../'
endfor
another, perhaps, bug i have discovered is that the file_expand_path
expands from the current working directory (not very handy :x ), not the
actual directory where the file might be. It should issue a warning if that
file does not exist in the current directory, something like:
a = '...../blahblah.bla'
cd, 'elsewhere'
ia = file_info(a, /noexpand_path)
if ia.exists NE 1 then print, 'File not found in current directory,
file_expand_path disabled'
or something like that...
cheers!
